I have to say that I'm way more worried about the USB port of the N900 than the damage it might be going get because of overclocking.
I'm running my N900 between 900MHz and 1,15GHz for quite a while now, only problem I see is the USB port starts getting loose...

On Titans 'ideal' setting 125mhz & 250mhz are set to as 'avoid frequencies'.

This is a copy of a post i put up in the main overclocing thread after i overclocked.

After that i fully charged her up then went out for a 5 hour stomp in the hills, headphones plugged in throughout plus some pic taking. Twleve hours later and after some evening wifi surfing, emailing, 3 quick phone calls, xterm & conky its only just gone down to 50% battery. Rather chuffed indeed and certainly no hiccups or obvious temp increase just snappier performance and to me thats clearly an improvement on battery life over the default kernel. If stability continues i might jump to 850mhz or 900mhz and stick there if all is ok (which i suspect it will).

One thing i have noticed from 'kernel_config show' in xterm the min 250mhz (alongside 125mhz) is an 'avoid frequency'. After a further checks via Conky its apparent the device doesnt drop below 500mhz, apart from screen lock or idle no doubt

I'm curious if it could be improved further if 250 was to be removed from avoid ?? OR would the 500mhz diff between Max & Min mean the greater range of mhz fluctuation would increase battery drain or maybe make the UI laggy from saver mode as 125 can ??


Any advice ??

I've still not had any pointers on the latter but the reality of 250/750 actually being 500/750 on the ideal setting is cool with me.

With a bit more usage than i gve her on the first day of OC i'm getting around 12/15 hrs before hitting red so gets me through work and a post work social. Quite happy with that as the default settings were hitting red after 8/9hrs.

What configuration are you using? If it's the Ideal one, that's set as minimum 500 if I recall rightly. Try it LV, or XLV and you should be able to set minimum as 125 or 250

quick question i installed the enhanced linux kernal using the tmarinos link above and have got to the part were u enter kernal-config but it doesnt exist on my phone. restarted when i had to installed the settings. Im on pr1.2 and installed it from extras NOT EXTRAS DEVEL OR EXTRAS TESTING.

any idea.

from the uk uk firmware.

Yes i can't seem to work out what minimum is set on the Titan Ideal kernel when I config it in terminal to 250-850? Does it go to 250 or only 500? However it's given me no problems , no excessive battery issues, freezing etc. ......Certainly is faster and 'snappier' though!

On the whole I'm happy with the voltages & battery performance the IDEAL config provides. Ideal has a basic setting of 500/850. I've tweeked that to 250/750 but obviusly more like 500/750 if 250 is an avoid frequency on that config.


I'll do a text on the LV config and tweek the limits to 250/750. I've noticed only only 125mhz is an avoid frequency on LV.

Wow I have really noticed the difference, my N900 is snappy.... and now usable!

Its 'kernel' not kernal

The defaults after initial install are identical to the stock Nokia kernel. You have to manually tell it to use overclock settings to get them to work. The newer kernel does have some advantages (a few more modules and some tweeks), but out of the box it's almost the same as the stock PR1.2 kernel.

If you want to learn how to properly setup the kernel with overclocked settings, read the wiki for the package. It's really not that hard to understand, and only a few parts apply to everyone. The part you want is "Configuring the kernel speed/voltage settings", and you only need to do steps 1 and 2 if you're happy with modest overclocking. There's a more generic wiki page here, but it's a little older and not specific to one package (there are a couple overclock packages).
